Full Force Galesburg

The Mountain Goats

Sixteen tracks of tape-hiss folk recorded in Iowa. A stark, wintery collection of travelogues defined by urgent acoustic guitar and a Panasonic boombox.

June 1997 · Emperor Jones

Find on Amazon

A quiet, snow-covered loneliness that finds warmth in the friction of tape and strings.

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
